Yeah just looked like a syndesmosis from the still shot. Much better result than an ACL of course but as ankles go it’s a bad one. Depends on the severity as to how they are managed but most would fall into the 6-10 week range. Clav had surgery on his and missed 8 weeks I think it was.

I actually think it’s not a bad result as it’ll give Max a chance to get stronger and also should give him some confidence that his knee can take a heavy contest and an awkward landing.

If Clav missed 8 & had surgery how many would you expect Max to miss if he’s lucky enough to avoid surgery?

Was expecting JB to sign a longer deal..

Significant pay day for Billings with two year deal almost signed. Saints confirmed tonight. Hannebery back in the AFL but kicking efficiency less than 50 per cent in both VFL games. Be great to see him back www.heraldsun.com.au…

Depends on what exactly is damaged. There are 4 grades of injury but also stable and unstable classifications. To avoid surgery you’d usually be a grade 1 or a stable grade 2.

Given Leathlean said they’d wait a few days before providing an update I’d suggest either they will consult a surgeon or just confirming that it is a stable grade 2 once it settles a bit. If it is treated conservatively then usually 5-8 weeks for a grade 2.

I had it when I was young playing basketball, it hurts like *. Took me around 6 weeks from memory and the worst is early on. My ankle was never 100% afterwards, it used to roll a lot more easily.

Who's the best tagger in the AFL?

His scalps this year are a who's who of the AFL.

Dustin Martin. Tim Kelly. Jaeger O'Meara. Patrick Cripps. Clayton Oliver. David Swallow. Ben Cunnington.

Greater Western Sydney's Matt de Boer has continued to reinvent himself to remain a regular cog in the Giants' machine in his three seasons at the club since Fremantle cut him loose.

His latest reincarnation as a run-with midfielder – a role he previously fulfilled – is striking fear into the AFL's finest, with Saint Seb Ross the only opponent who exceeded expectations opposed to de Boer.

only issue is that he tagged Gresham that day.

Yeah we're the only team where our main ball user isn't the guy they tag......what should that tell us?

That GWS think Gresham is more creative and influential than Seb Ross?

 

[Impatient Saint]

Great stuff George I love that the club are reconnecting with all the past players and staff!

Main ball user?

So far this season Ross has a few extra disposals, but Gresham has more contested possessions and way more goals.
He still had 12 contested possessions and 4 clearances against GWS, so not sure how successful the tag was. He did remain goalless i suppose.
( Seb had 11 and 9 and kicked a behind ).

 

[StCicatriz]

seen some absolutely vile s**t on social media about one of our players. which i do not want to repeat dude to the defamatory nature of it and the affect it may have on people. i hope the club has seen it and steps in.

Gresh only used it at about 30% that bad. Probably the worst game he has played.

That unlike other teams our leading disposal winner isn't seen as a threat to tag was where I was going....was easy for the writer to name the other teams tagged players, but not ours.....it's not the greatest point i've ever raised I'll grant you - I guess you had to be there....as in, in my head....

If its the one i heard, its something recycled from a couple of years ago ( never substantiated ) with a new name added.

I can only pick the obvious ones, Frawley, Bevo, Leowe, Winmar, Neale, Sheldon, Rice, Nixon, Morris, Buhagiar...

I reckon the bald head at the back obscured is Stewie, Danny Frawley up the back left, Jack Daniels far right, Lazar Vidovic up the back 4 in from the left. Winmar 6 in from front right.
